Went to Cali and LA / Anaheim area for the first time from a neighboring country. Ate at local restaurants and why the **** is your tipping system so weird? You have pay the regular amount and sign off the tip and signature?? I do not get the reason. In Canada, we just choose what the tip amount would be on the credit card machine and pay it at the same time. Why does the restaurant enter the tip manually? Cant they scam the customers by charging them extra when they leave??
Why are half the people in LA and Disneyland obese? No, not fat, but obese. There are tons and tons of people in Disneyland using those electric scooters even though they can walk fine. Does no one like to exercise in the states?? I have yet to see an obese person in Vancouver Canada once.
Went to target, walmart etc... sugar filled snacks and drinks everywhere. I was struggling to find a sugar free redbull or sugar free drinks in general.
Downtown LA and highways smell like piss and ****. There is garbage everywhere on the highways and in DTLA, I literally found poop every single day outside the "good areas" by Nordstrom (my hotel was nearby). The homeless are super aggressive for some reason compared to my city, even the beach was disgusting and filled with homeless even though there are multi million dollar homes by the sand.
Chick Fil A is ****ing garbage, what's so special about it. Always heard about it from other people and it isn't even that great. Jollibee's deluxe chicken sandwich is so much better.
In n Out is ok, good for the price but Shake Shack tastes better (duh).
Why does the USA still use pennies? I haven't seen pennies in ages.
I saw 10 accidents in less than a week of driving around LA. Most of them happened in the highways. No one follows the rules it feels like and motorcycles can do whatever the **** they want. I barely saw any cops for some reason. People sped as they please.
The only things I actually liked was the good looking girls (seriously better looking blondes and latinas), weather, the nice beaches (Manhattan beach, not Santa Monica Pier etc), and a good economy. I still can't believe there are more Californians than Canadians. I know GDP is a bad metric but it isn't that bad. California GDP is higher than Canada's which is insane. I never felt so broke walking around Rodeo Drive... but feel so rich walking around DTLA lol. Feels like no one is even caring about the homeless, garbage, and poop on the streets. Literally smells like piss everywhere.

Seattle driving was basically like Vancouver's
I can't believe there is such a difference in driving in both Washington State and California. I guess population does that to people... and the driving skills from Mexico transferring over.

Not even close to Filipino but ok.Originally Posted by thatsnarf
I had to try out these burger shacks and fast food places to compare with and open mind and see what is up with the hype.
Chick Fil A's Deluxe is literally trash.
Jollibee's Deluxe actually had crunch and bigger pieces of chicken.
edit: the most poverty food is in and out but I said it was decent for the price so I am not sure how Jollibee's is poverty if it's more expensive lol

Cause we don't have currency called loonies and toonies to put under our glasses as tips. Also because they use a POS that requires signatures and with that a tip. Don't act stupid, you've dealt with various POS before......Originally Posted by benyu
I saw plenty of fat people in Canada, not sure why you'd point out fat people since they're everywhere for the most part.Originally Posted by benyu
Also, helps to know the common language used in a country before searching for sugar free red bull. You have to find the one that says "sugar free"
Never been out west, but yeah in major tourist cities who woulda thought trash is an issue.... feels bad knowing you're from a town that no one wants to visit, eh?Originally Posted by benyu
Ok, so you have no taste buds. Should get that covid test bruh.....Originally Posted by benyu
You live in Canada fool ya fool. I haven't seen loonies and toonies in ages, in fact oddly enough the last time I saw them was in Canada, weird.....Originally Posted by benyu
Who woulda thought a town where everyone has a DGAF attitude there would be an abnormal amount of car accidents........so weird.Originally Posted by benyu
Not even sure what to say here other than, do you even travel? Get out of your town often? Watch YouTube videos about other cultures and countries? Talk to people outside your bubble?Originally Posted by benyu
I know you're just trolling and you probably didn't go to LA cause Canada has some really tight restrictions but still.......you sound like that douche rocket that complains just to complain and everyone hates being around you because you're so negative all the dam time.
In closing, fuk off, we're full.

no nordstrom in DTLA, just a rack. I used to go to the golds in that little area. Trust me, that's not the "good area" of DTLA lol. That's a busy area, but not a good area.Originally Posted by benyu

I never understand why people who are obese go to Disney World/ Dinsney Land. You would think being in a confined seat travelling fast through obstacles would be the last situation they would want to put themselves in.

SoCal resident here. I only live 20 min from Disneyland.
We've been fully invaded by illegal aliens and chain migration from chithole countries so the trash on the streets, barrio looking neighborhoods, homeless, crime, etc is a direct result. Remember what you saw here when your government tells you importing migrants is a good thing.
Funny about the driving comment, so true. SoCal driving it's every man for himself, kill or be killed. Since that's all I've been accustomed to don't even think twice about it and only been in 1 accident. Whenever I drive in other states it's a relief to see people following the laws and driving politely. But when I'm in the far left lane behind someone going 65 my Californian comes outta me and pass the fcker to go 85.

Did you make friends with anyone in a city filled with tons of unique and interesting people? Or were just an autistic anti social foreign freak and only made your impressions of the city based on who you saw in the streets and random strangers walking...

Way more chill. Lower west coast is nothing compared to upper east coast. People out east are just generally less friendly, in your face, and on edge. People out west are more laid back and chill. The entire vibe is different. I actually never saw anyone rage or have a meltdown out west.Originally Posted by xbluexhawkx

Done both. I like the Canadia Tire triangle strawberry looking logo and wanted a souvenir hat or shirt. Tim Horton's I had to try to see how it compares to DD. Good way to end the trip after partying in Montreal.Originally Posted by John Promise

Been to tristate and it's exactly the same as SoCal...kill or be killed. SoCal crazy driving madness: LA County, North OC, Riverside. Everything else isn't too bad.Originally Posted by xbluexhawkx
Worst part in tristate are the damn taxi drivers.
Most reckless drivers I've ever been around to this day is the LAX Airport loop. Have to fly once a month and I'm still left in awe at how bonkers the drivers and taxi cabs are.

East LA was way worse at the same time so you didn't even get the bad part. People come up to you asking for money while you're working in a closed area to the public, hookers standing on the sidewalk mooning cars to get business(and it works), dudes running around screaming saying they've just been stabbed asking for 50 cents for their copay, cars parked that never move used just for prostitution bang points, people stopping to eat bugs 3 feet away from you're working etc. Compton is nicer, and ice heard is only gotten worse.
Once you deal with California traffic everyday you'll understand the road rage. Californians drive like **** and the road system is built like ****. Everytime I move out of California I have no road rage.
But **** you in and out is great might neg you phggot.

California is the home of the super rich and super poor with an increasingly shrinking middle class. This is how democrats want it (srs). Pick which group you want to be be in because the rate at which California is being exported now is the time to prepare.
